In our fantasies and our phobias. Onto our streets and into our mirrors. Down our alleys and our angers, under our bridges and our skins. In the prisons we fear and the cells we can’t escape.

Bad people.

Celebrating the final exhibition of Hot Art Wet City, Phantoms In The Front Yard reveal their dirty little pictures.

Come see the worst, the naughtiest, the darkest, the damnedest, the shady, the skittish, the last and the least, yourself. We know you’ll take a thing or two away. With miniature pieces and their miniature prices, it may even be some art.

Guest curator Pennylane Shen hosts an artist panel with the members of the artist collective Phantoms in the Front Yard: Jeremiah Birnbaum, James Knight, Paul Morstad, Jay Senetchko, Jonathan Sutton, with guest David Vegt as they discuss their new work, the idea of space, and the role of the figure in contemporary art.

Founded in 2010, Phantoms in the Front Yard is a Vancouver-based touring art collective with the mandate to challenge the contemporary Canadian art scene, reviving the human subject as muse. Figurative art has become the phantom of the fine art world, haunting both Modernism and Postmodernism with its ties to a classical tradition, refusing to be dismissed, ignored or forgotten.
